This issue seems to still occur in Dream Seeker in BYOND 507.1251/507.1252, following the steps outlined above.

This issue still seems to occur in BYOND 507.1253.
I just noticed that the input control is hogging the arrow key commands, even when the map should have focus. I'm not sure if this has been this way all along, or is new to 507.1253. | |
I'm not seeing this at all. Rise of Heroes works fine, as do other projects I've been testing.
Is it that the input control is grabbing focus but the arrow keys still actually work? I'm not seeing that either, but we don't want the default input control to hog focus unless there's legitimate typing to be done. I'm really going to need more info to test this. If you have a specific setup that shows this in action, that would be good. I'm spinning this off as another thread though because I think it warrants being a separate report. [edit] Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I was so focused on webclient issues I didn't realize this was a DS-only thing. I don't know why DS macros would break but I'll look into it. | |
I found the issue and will be fixing this in 507.1254. This one threw me because I was actually finding legit movement issues in webclient games as well.

Legacy games that defined macros in .dms files had movement macros fail in Dream Seeker unless they were also included in the .dms. | |
